Gotham: They Who Hide Behind Masks

They’ve done some occasional flashbacks and other scenes from the past on Gotham. This one sets the new record though, as we go back to Arabia in 123 AD.

iZombie: Eat, Pray, Liv

A lot of odd things happen on iZombie this week. Arguably, odder than normal, which says something in this world. I also want to strangle one of the characters by the end of the episode, but I’m getting ahead of things. There’s weird events and bad choices all over the place. The episode opens…

iZombie: Zombie Knows Best

The new season continues, with sub-plots building and weird brain side-effects in full swing, in “Zombie Knows Best.” Unlike a lot of their usual episodes, this one has a lot of flashbacks in it, and focuses a lot more on Clive. I thought it worked well, and that’s even with me being sick of…

Green Lantern/Space Ghost 1

Green Lantern/Space Ghost Writer: James Tynion IV and Christopher Sebela Artist: Ariel Olivetti Letterer: A Larger World Studios Cover: Ariel Olivetti Presumably to boost sales for their recent launched Hanna Barbera comics, DC is doing a bunch of team up one shots. I can’t say as I’m too interested in most of them, but I’ve…

Gotham: Smile Like You Mean It

Things continue to get strange in Gotham, as seen on “Mad City: Smile Like You Mean It.” The episode draws on several different elements from various points in the Joker’s career, presumably to convince us that this Jerome is supposed to eventually be the Joker. His cult is a lot like the Jokerz gang as…

Aquaman 15

Aquaman 12 Writer: Dan Abnett Artist: Philippe Briones Colorist: Gabe Eltaeb Letterer: Pat Brosseau Cover: Brad Walker, Andrew Hennessy, & Gabe Eltaeb The current run of Aquaman has focused a lot on the tensions between the surface world and Atlantis. Aquaman has been doing everything possible to keep peace between the two realms, even running…

DC Comics New Talent Showcase

DC Comics has issued their newest “New Talent Showcase.” Since it’s a series of different short stories, I’m going to change my normal review format a bit. As with any collection, it varied a bit, but overall impressed me.

Gotham: Anything For You

I’ve been commenting that all of the comic book based shows seem to have improved a lot this season. Well, this week Gotham joins those ranks with “Mad City: Anything For You.” There are a lot of twists and turns to the complex, scheming plot, and some good character moments as well. I think it was one of their better episodes, in my personal top few favorites of the series. Because there are so many intricate plot points, there are spoilers in this review. Be warned.

Gotham: New Day Rising

Gotham’s Mad City arc continues with “New Day Rising.” It’s more or less part two of last week’s Mad Hatter and Alice adventure. I have to admit, I’m not loving Jim Gordon as mercenary bounty hunter, but I think I see how they are going to end it and I’m thinking it might be soon. I hope so, anyway.
